FOR YOU CHIKA!!!!!
Jin had
been lucky when the very day he and his mate had gotten Oops back, Yukina had ignored her husband’s pleas and convinced Shizuru to drive her up to the temple. With her mind made up, she aimed straight for
Jin’s ki. She
felt about for Yusuke happy to find him in the shower. ‘Good!’
she thought, ‘One less person to try
and stop me!’ She knocked softly,
hardly waiting for a reply before entering the room. Rushing to Jin’s side she knelt next to him,
folding her hands and gave him a gentle smile.
“Hello,
Jin.”
“Ello.” He answered, looking from the small Kooromie to the figure that appeared in the doorway. Kuwabara didn’t
look happy; he was frowning at his wife and chewing on his inner lip. Yukina followed the
wind tamer’s gaze and gave her husband a cheeky grin.
“Don’t mind
him,” She said returning her smile to Jin.
“I just couldn’t leave you up here to heal on your own.”
Jin shook
his head, settling Oops, who had been nursing himself to sleep, in to the
pillow in his lap.
“Ya donna
‘ave ta do none’a’that. Ya need ta be savin’
yer ki for yerself and yer Baby.”
Yukina beamed at the mention of her babies, she rubbed
circles over her precious babies with her tiny hands.
“These two
wouldn’t give me a moment’s peace unless I promised to come see you.”
“Twins?”
Yukina nodded looking like the happiest being in the three
worlds. Jin remembered that feeling very
well, there was a contentment that pregnancy gave that nothing else in the
world could come close to.
“Congrats.”
“Thank
you.”
“Ya donna
‘ave ta worry bout me
none.” Jin tried to assure the
determined Kooromie, “Jus’ need a day or two ta git m’strenght
back up an’ I’ll be dandy.”
Kuwabara gave the wind tamer an appreciative smile from the
doorway. Yukina,
however, shook her head.
“I never
have anything to do, especially now that I’m pregnant. Everyone has to make sure that I have nothing
to do. I have more than enough ki to spare on a healing.
Now, I’m sure that Kazuma won’t mind holding
your son while I look at your wound over.
Right, Kazuma-dear?”
“Yukina-chan, I’m sure Kurama or Genkai will be happy to heal Jin’s wounds after they get a
bit of rest, or Botan, let’s get Botan.”
“Oh, Kazuma,” the Kooromie sighed
affectionately. “You know I’m much more
gifted than Botan and Kurama,
they’ve said so themselves. And Genkai is such a dear but, she’s is getting,” Her voice
lowered to a whisper and she snuck a glance out the open door, “elderly.”
Kuwabara and Jin couldn’t help but started chuckling.
“If I
promise to pay close attention to my ki and not over
exert myself will you boys relax?”
Jin
shrugged and looked to Kuwabara for directions. He did not look happy at all yet, he sighed
and nodded. His large form knelt next to
his wife and tenderly accepted Oops into his thickly muscled yet infinitely
gentle arms. Yukina
beamed at them both and helped Jin out of his shirt. The moment his wound was bared her large red
eyes grew as wide as dinner plates. She
held a small fisted hand to her lips then tilted her gaze over toward the baby
her husband held. When Kazuma had called to give her the news he had said that the
baby didn’t look so good and truthfully she was afraid to see the poor baby
like that. Determined not to tear up ice
maiden focused on healing Jin’s wound.
She started
out working on the deep tissue, feeling the Jin’s wounded ki
throb along with the injured tissue.
Once the deep tissue was done she pulled a small pair of sewing scissors
out of a pocket in her sundress and used it to remove the stitches before
healing the wound completely.
Once she
pulled her small hands back Jin looked curiously down at the raised scar tissue
that was all that was left of the large wound.
“I’m
sorry.” Yukina
whispered as Jin inspected his stomach.
“Had I gotten here sooner the scar tissues wouldn’t have gotten a chance
to set in.”
Jin gave
the Kooromie a smile.
“It’s better than a gaping wound.
Thank you.”
Yukina didn’t look reassured. She looked back at the scar, her healing had
even helped the skin tighten a bit around the extra weight Jin had gained while
pregnant, and most of the stretch marks had faded as well.
“Yes, but
the scars will be on you uterus as well.
That will make it harder for you to conceive or. . .” she trailed off
looking over to her husband.
“Or what?” Jin asked,
Yusuke had already told him what the doctor had said when they left the dead Shinobi in his office.
“If you do conceive,
when the baby gets to a certain size the scars may tear.”
Jin nodded
solemnly. “I been
warned ‘bout ‘at.”
“I’m sorry,”
Yukina continued, her voice growing teary.
Wishing to console his beloved wife, Kuwabara put his hand on her small
shoulder and gave a small squeeze.
“Donna be.” Jin replied, “I
knew what I was gettin’ inta
when I decided ta keep Oops. I knew ta Shinobi would be pissy if’n they found out.
Oops is safe now an’ ‘dat’s all I be carin’ bout.”
Yukina sent a glance at Oops who’s
misty brown eyes were slanted open giving his studying gaze a weary look as he
studied her husband’s unfamiliar face.
She nodded, her tiny hands returning to the swell of her belly, she
understood completely.
“Would you
guys mind sittin’ with Oops-chan
fer a wee bit?”
Surprised
by the sudden request the couple was momentarily silent. Yukina recovered
first, giving Jin a beaming smile she nodded.
“We’d be
delighted.”
“Thanks. ‘E should be fine fer a
bit, ‘e jus’ ate.”
“He’ll be
okay.” Yukina
assured Jin as he slipped out the door.
The wind tamer grinned at them both over his shoulder before
disappearing.
“Do you
want to hold him?” Kuwabara
asked.
“I
do.” She nodded. Once the tiny baby was cradled in her arms
she looked up to her husband with a delighted smile. “You never told me how they found this
precious angel.” She cooed rocking the
baby in her arms.
Hiei brought him in late this morning.”
Yukina gasped startling the snoozing baby in her arms. Once she soothed Oops back to sleep she gave
her husband big puppy eyes.
“Why didn’t
you tell me Hiei-san was here?” For once those eyes didn’t work their usual
magic on the love struck physic. He
chuckled softly.
“If you
would have waited until tomorrow morning like I asked you to Hiei and Kurama were going to
surprise you. None of us wanted you to
have to come all the way up here.”
Bashful
ruby eyes looked up, “I’m sorry I ruined the surprise, but I’m not sorry that I
was able to heal Jin-san.”
Kuwabara knew it would be pointless to fight with his
beloved wife. Instead of pointing out,
again, that Kurama and Genkai
would be tickled to heal Jin just as soon as they had some rest he replied;
“Well now I guess you can surprise Hiei instead.”
Yukina giggled, she knew that her twin already knew that
she was there. Had she taken the time to
look when she had arrived she would have sensed him in the bedroom with Kurama. She was
surprised to find that Touya was also in the room
with them. Understanding that there are
only so many rooms to spare she wasn’t surprised that many of the demons were
sharing room. She simple never thought
her brother would consent to sharing a room with anyone other than his
fox. Especially with Touya
who never hid his attraction to Kurama.
Half the
temple seemed asleep with the exception of Genkai and
Shizuru on the porch, Jin who had now joined Yusuke
in the bathroom and of course Yukina and her
husband. The Kooromie
had a suspicion that Hiei was awake as well and
keeping an eye out for trouble.
!@#$%^&*()_++_)(*&^%$#@!
Jin slipped
silently through the bathroom door, instantly Yusuke’s wet head poked around
the curtain. His large, dark eyes nearly
boggled when he noted Jin’s stomach.
“Yer Kuwabara’s surly is
henpecked.”
His mate
laughed giving him an impish grin. “You gonna join me or what?”
He asked disappearing back behind the curtain.
“Showers
wit you sucks cause yer a water hog!”
Yusuke
chuckled “Well I’m not sitting in the tub with your with your stinky ass
ruining the water. Come in and wash off,
then we’ll fill the tub.”
Jin snorted
but decided against teasing his mate further, he only wanted to be away from
Oops for a bit. Stepping out of his
sweatpants, he peeked in the curtain finding Yusuke’s back to him. His head
arched back working the last of the suds out of his hair. The stream of suds ran down the muscular
plains of the Toushin’s back to his tight rear and
firm, rounded muscles of his legs.
Feeling the eyes ogling him, Yusuke twisted around giving Jin a
mischievous grin.
“Like the
view?” He asked in his, ‘I’m hot and you
know it’ tone.
The wind
tamer perched on the rim of the tub and shrugged. “Ya know I always
do.”
“What’cha wait’n
for?” He asked. “Get your ass in here.”
“I be need’n ta wait till yer ego deflates. Ain’t no room fer
me as is.”
The young
demon threw back his head and laughed.
“You’ll be waiting a damn long time if you keep staring at my ass like
that.”
Jin grinned
back, “Don I know it.”
Turning to
face his mate, Yusuke took a step back and out of the spray. Jin climbed in, sighing as the hot water
pelted his skin. Rolling his shoulders
the wind tamer moaned softly as the tension and stiffness of his muscles melted
from his body. After a few minutes he
opened his eyes to look for shampoo.
Yusuke was watching him, his smile now more tender and thoughtful. He bent and grabbed the bottle at their feet,
the drying water droplets glimmering on his tan skin. He shook his head gently when Jin reached for
the bottle.
“Turn
around.” He instructed when Jin complied his mate stepped close behind him, almost but not
quite gaining body contact. Warm lips
caressed the corded muscles of his neck before a pair of fangs gently scrapped
his skin. Slowly the lips trailed to his
overly sensitized ear.
“Call me a
water hog.” He purred nibbling up the
earlobe. Jin shuddered and sighed
disappointed when Yusuke pulled further away to start working shampoo through
his mate’s crayon red locks. A contented
hum purred from his throat as calloused fingers massaged his scalp. Long after he knew his hair was fully
lathered, Yusuke was still going strong.
He brought his thumbs together at the base of his neck and rubbed the
knotted muscle he found there. Jin’s
head tipped forward with a soft groan.
“If’n ya donna stop,” He mumbled to his chest, “We may jus’ be
‘ere all night.”
“I guess
we’ll just have to finish this in the bedroom.”
“Mm, Itza date.”
With one last
squeeze Yusuke released his shoulders.
As his mate turned to rinse the shampoo out of his hair Yusuke started
lathering a washcloth.
“I think,” he told Jin when he
was done rinsing his hair, “That you need some help washing your back.”
Before Jin
could turn, the shorter demon grasped his shoulders and pulled him forward
against his chest. True to his work,
Yusuke started scrubbing firm circles over Jin’s muscular back as their lips
met. With every deep thrust of his
tongue the scrubbing cloth dipped lower and lower. Jin groaned softly when the wicked mouth
detached from his own and nibbled up his neck to his most sensitive spot, his
ears.
“I’m really
diggin’ the baby weight.” Yusuke murmured, cupping Jin’s ass for
emphasis.
Jin
couldn’t help but smirk, “Got a thing fer
fat guys, do ya?”
“You sure
know how to kill the moment.” Yusuke
groused pulling himself away.
“Canna say bein’ called fat is
much a’turn on.”
The young
demon threw the washcloth at him and sulked in the back of the tub.
“I was
telling you that I like your ass. Learn
to take a complement asshole.”
“Then learn
ta give one.”
Jin retorted as he returned to washing himself.
“Quit being
so damn touchy and maybe I could.”
Yusuke knew
that Jin wasn’t really upset just as Jin could tell that his mate’s retorts were
teasing. The young Toushin
watched as Jin turned his back to him and started scrubbing himself
forcefully. Thinking he really had
pissed off his mate, Yusuke hung back to watch curiously. When he finished with every inch of his body,
he stepped under the spray to rinse then grabbed more soap to start all over
again, just as rough as the first time.
Concerned, Yusuke stepped back up behind his mate and placed his hand
over Jin’s furiously scrubbing fist.
“Wazza matter?” He asked softly in Jin’s ear.
“I be stink’n like them.” Jin answered watching Yusuke’s hand scrub his
stomach and hips. “Its
old an’ faint but still ‘ere. I donna want Oops ta ‘ave ta
smell ‘at.”
“You don’t
smell Jin.”
“I would’na mind smell’n
like you.” Jin continued, “Jus’
not like them.”
“You wanna smell like me, huh?”
Yusuke asked his tone playful. “I
know a way we can accomplish that.”
“Not on yer life.” Jin
muttered back. Yusuke startled slightly
trying to judge his mate’s mood he remained silent. “I told ya las’ time we ain’t never screw’n in ta shower again.”
Yusuke
blinked for a moment remembering the first and supposedly last time they had
sex in the shower. Recalling the fiasco
it had turned into, the young demon was having a hard time trying not to
laugh. Although he succeeded in not
laughing, it was hard not to hide the amusement in his voice.
“Practice
does make perfect ya’know.”
Jin
growled, “Ya would’na be say’n ‘at if’n you were ass raped
by a water faucet.”
Yusuke
couldn’t help but start laughing. Jin
continued to growl softly not finding amusement in the memory. After a moment Yusuke hushed and nuzzled
Jin’s neck, taking a sniff of the wet skin.
“How bout
you rinse off so we can fill this tub and soak.
I promise to touch you a lot so you can smell good, like me.”
“ ‘At sounds nice.”
Jin murmured stepping back into the hot spray of water jutting from the
shower head. Yusuke stood back and
watched; his mate’s movements were growing sluggish. It had been a very long day, even with his
nap earlier that day Jin was still drained.
A few minutes later, when Jin was reclining against his mate’s broad,
chest Yusuke’s gentle, calloused hands were keeping their promise to rub off
his own sent they never quit rubbing all over Jin’s exhausted body. They came to a sudden pause when they reached
the crest of his still rather bloated stomach.
His mate was probably doing the same thing he was at the moment and
imagining Oops still sleeping inside Jin’s womb as if none of the past few months
had happened.
“What was
it like to be pregnant?” Yusuke asked
softly.
“Like nuttin’ else in the world.”
Jin replied leaning his head back against his mate’s neck. “Better ‘an fly’n, figh’n or even sex.”
“That much fun, huh?”
Yusuke mused with a chuckle.
“Not always
be callin’ it fun,” Jin answered. “But, it be amazin’
ta know ‘at ‘ere’s a babe growin’ inside ya. ‘At yer body
created it wit yer lover. Ain’t nuttin’ like it,” He paused a moment, his lips pursing
slighted as he thought about his answer, “I know I ain’t
be’n doin’ it no justice.”
“Naw,” Yusuke murmured, his hands picking up their gentle
rub. “I think I have a pretty good
idea.”
Jin hummed
a sigh against Yusuke’s neck as the hot water and his mate’s gentle hands
soothed him into a light doze. What seemed
like a split second later, he awoke to being lifted into the air. Started slightly, the groggy wind tamer
stiffened as his foggy mind cleared somewhat.
“Think you
can stand?” Yusuke asked, “I don’t think
our baby-sitters would like us coming in in the buff.”
Jin snorted
and nodded when Yusuke placed him on the cool tile floor he was able to steady himself and start drying off while Yusuke quickly did the
same. When they were both sufficiently
dry Yusuke pulled on his sweat pants and handed Jin a robe. Once back in their room, Jin accepted a fussy
Oops back into his empty arms. His head
still felt groggy and heavy as he tried to help Oops latch properly onto his
chest for yet another feeding. Both Jin
and Yusuke were delighted that Oops proved to be such a hearty eater. Only at the moment their son was having a
hell of a time latching on. Yusuke
joined them as Jin started rubbing the bridge of his nose.
“Can I
help?” He asked softly.
“Unless ya can start yerself milk’n donno if’n
ya can do an’a’thin.”
Growing
just as frustrated as his father, Oops gave an angry whine.
“Yer jus’ like yer
Papa.” Jin murmured
affectionately to his son. “A whiner
when you don’t get your way.”
“Hey!” Came an indignant
whine from said Papa.
“Wonder if’n yer gonna
pout like ‘e does, too . . .”
“I don’t
think he’ll pout.” Yusuke retorted, “And
I hope he’s not a smartass like his Mommy.”
Jin gave
his mate a raised eyebrow.
“Who are ya callin’ a smartass, smartass?”
“You need
me to spell it out to you? Hum. .
.” Yusuke feigned a thoughtful look,
“Your right, if you can’t follow I think it should be dumbass
instead.”
“Yer just a plain ass.”
Oops seemed
to pick up on his parent’s relaxed mood.
He happily tried to wrap his tiny fingers around the larger finger that
had been stroking his tiny hand. This
time when Jin offered his son his nipple Oops was able to properly latch on and
greedily suckle his fill. By the time
the baby had nursed himself to sleep, his father was half asleep as well. Yusuke gently lifted Oops out of his mate’s
tired arms. Only half awake, Jin shifted
and stretched as he lay down and shrugged the warm blanket over his bare
torso. He saw his mate watching him and
waiting until he was comfortable and ready to take Oops back. Realizing that this was the first time his
mate had ever gotten to actually hold their son, the wind tamer rolled over
onto his stomach.
Surprised,
Yusuke took a moment to react. He
figured that Oops would never leave Jin’s sight, much less his arms willingly for
a month. Earlier, the young father had
been nervous about the first moment he would be able to actually hold his
son. Not that he wasn’t dying to hold
his baby; for the past few days he could dream of nothing else, now that it was
time all he could imagine was somehow dropping Oops or that his son wouldn’t
want to be held by his stranger of a father.
Now that he
had his son cradled in his arms it felt so natural that he couldn’t imagine not
being completely at ease with his baby.
Oops seemed completely content as well.
His tiny fists moved up to his cheeks with jerky movements as his tiny
rosebud mouth opened impossibly wide with a huge yawn. Resting his arms on his knees, Yusuke hunched
over his son to indulge in an impulse he had the very moment he set eyes on
Oops’ tiny body in the doctor’s office the Shinobi
had first taken Jin into. Pressing his
face to gently nuzzle against Oops’ tiny chest, the young demon inhaled deeply.
When Yusuke
had been reborn as a demon his senses had become incredibly heightened to the
point where he was bombarded with millions of new experiences. Scent was one of the hardest one to deal
with, now he really knew why Hiei hated it in the Ningenkai so much.
The place reeked! He had no idea
what to expect when he took in his son’s scent, but what he felt was breath
taking. Oops’ scent was all his own,
completely unique, there was a slight hint of the musky, sun-drenched flesh
that Jin’s body emitted. He smelled warm
with a faint trace of milk. Yusuke
sighed contently and chuckled softly when his son mimicked his sigh. The young father pressed a tender kiss to his
son’s round forehead. He continued to
study his son until his eyelids grew heavy.
With another sigh he slowly settled onto this back with Oops steadied
against his broad chest.
Jin was
completely exhausted and sound asleep while Yusuke had gotten his first actual taste
at fatherhood, although he was ready to sleep for days on end he stirred when
his mate settled beside him. Groggily,
he nestled himself snugly into Yusuke’s warm side and laid his arm around
Oops. Instantly a strong, muscular arm
wrapped around him and a hand linking together on Yusuke’s chest, steadily
raising and falling with the young demon’s breathing. While Oops’ gentle, raspy breathing ghosted
over their conjoined hands a soft contented sigh found it way out of the wind
tamer’s chest. He leaned his head on top
of Jin’s shoulder and inhaled the scent of his damp hair, marveling at how
their son could smell like both Jin and himself yet at the same time had his
own unique scent. Tightening his arm
around Jin, Yusuke let his eyelid flutter closed and let sleep claim him.
!@#$%^&*())(*&^$#@!
The next
day for the new fathers was pretty much spent catching sleep around taking care
of Oops. Where his parents would have
happily spent the day unconscious, they woke every couple hours. Jin had been weak as a kitten while he was
healing and forcing himself to stay awake and over exert his minimal at best ki, was feeling the repercussions of it now.
Oops first
night with his family was spent waking up every other hour for short bursts of
fussiness. Wither it was to be fed or
changed the baby always woke up the same way, whining, which escalated to
fussing while his father’s tried to figure out what he wanted this time. Soon Jin stopped trying to guess and simply
let him nurse the moment he started whining.
Where
Yusuke had spent the day before anticipating and scared to death about his
alone moments with his son, he was now getting tons of hands on
experience. At first Jin would jolt wide
awake at Oops’ whines, soon, however, his energy started lagging and he found
it harder and harder to stay awake. By
early morning the routine was pretty much set at Jin sitting up, getting Oops
latched on than passing out against Yusuke.
His young mate would hold both of them until Oops had nursed himself
back to sleep. After ward he would check
Oops over to make sure he didn’t need a diaper change, Oops usually woke up for
this and complain about being undressed.
The third time this happened that night Yusuke knew enough not to
panic. He would cuddle his tiny son
snugly to his naked chest and talk to him softly, his voice no louder than a
coo, until Oops was back to sleep.
Most of the
morning was spent the same way although Oops started sleeping for longer spurts
and not nursing quite so often. After a
sleepy breakfast in bed the fathers were able to catch almost three full hours
of sleep when Botan and Yukina
convinced them to let Oops be baby-sat all his uncles, aunts and Grandma Genkai. At first the
baby slept, and then when he awoke he seemed entranced by all the faces and
activity going on around him. Soon,
however, the activity had the tiny baby a tad over whelmed. As a baby he was unable to understand this
new feeling, but he sure knew how to convey his displeasure. Almost two seconds after Oops let out a
distressed whine Jin was at a very surprised Chu’s side.
“Ya gone’n pissed ‘em off!” He
quipped. Chu
chucked as he handed his tiny new nephew back to the wind tamer. Figuring he was being passed to yet another
unfamiliar person, Oops instantly started crying. Jin put his son to his shoulder, patting his small
back gently and soothing his newborn.
Once Oops settled Jin sat down on a couch that was nearly as old as the
temple, and just like the temple, it was very well kept. Jin wasn’t sure if Oops would like being
nursed around all the activity. Yet, at
the same time he also didn’t want to live in his room for the rest of the near future. That and if he sat down on the bed he would
want to go right back to sleep. At
first, Oops was not enthused about being fed with all the noise around
him. Seeing this, the
group that had been in the living room disbanded. Most of the demons went outside before Jin
had a chance to leave for his bedroom. A
few of the hungrier ones went to pester the girls in the kitchen for snacks
before lunch.
Now only
five were left in the once crowded living room.
Jin and Oops, of course, with Yusuke sitting on the floor at his mate’s
feet where he had settled before everyone had left. Touya had stuck
around which again wasn’t much of a surprise.
Who was the surprise was Rinku, he shuffled from foot to foot in front of Jin and Yusuke
nervously. The wind tamer took a moment
to properly latch his son onto his chest before turning to Rinku
with a grin.
“Wazza matter boyo?”
“Do you
mind if I stay? I never did get to hold
Oops-chan,
it was my turn after Chu.”
“’E’ll conk out when ‘e’s done eat’n.” Jin answered. “You can ‘old ‘e’m
then, kay?”
Rinku beamed and clamored up on the couch beside his
friend. His large, pale blue eyes were
fixed excitedly on Oops. He inched a bit
closer to Jin and lightly brushed the tips of his fingers over the silky, red
infant hair.
“He likes
it when you talk to him.” Yusuke said,
leaning his head back on Jin’s knee and cracked his neck.
Rinku looked down at Yusuke then back at Oops. “When he’s
eating?” He asked hesitantly.
“Anytime.” Yusuke
answered, “It’s quiet in here now so he can get used to your voice easier.”
Still a bit
unsure the demon child looked to Jin.
The wind tamer nodded with a soft, encouraging smile. Delighted, Rinku
had a bit of a hard time keeping his voice down.
“Hi Oops-chan.” He chirped.
“I’m your uncle Rinku” The baby’s hand flexed
against Jin’s peck where it rested above his mouth. “You kicked me once.”
“Be
thankful it was only once.” Jin murmured, rubbing his son’s teeny feet through the cloth of the
blanket he was wrapped in. “‘E’s a killer
when ‘e’s pissy.”
“Say Jin,”
Rinku asked, “Do you want more kids?”
“Sure
do.” Jin answered, keeping his voice
neutral and seeing Yusuke stiffen out of the corner of his eye.
“How many?” Rinku continued oblivious to the tension Yusuke and now Touya were both trying not to show.
“As many as
I can ‘ave.”
He answered. “May be a while on
‘at though.”
“How come?”
Jin rubbed
a rough thumb pad over the scar running down his stomach and abdomen. “Dis scar,” Rinku
blinked down at the scar, his large eyes trailing over the length of its raised
skin then back over Oops to Jin’s eyes.
“Could cause problems if’n’ I get preggers again.”
“Oh,” the
demon child looked over to Yusuke whose tense shoulders were next to Jin’s
crossed legs and hesitantly asked, “Can’t Yusuke have them instead?”
“We’re not
sure.” Yusuke answered softly. “My body started out as human and human men
aren’t born with the organs to get pregnant.”
“Oh.” Rinku answered
again not sure how to respond. Yusuke
and Jin were both glad that Oops had chosen that moment to fall asleep and, as
promised, Jin handed the tiny baby over to Rinku’s
slender arms. Entranced by his first
experience of holding a baby, Rinky spent a while
inspecting the newborn in his arms. Jin
enjoyed watching the child, never in a million years did he think he would
become tender and mushy over another fighter.
But, right now he couldn’t help but imagining Rinku
with his own choppy red hair and Yusuke’s big, brown eyes filled with wonder
and delight as he holds his younger sibling for the first time. A pang of pain so deep it was startling
jolted Jin’s chest. Suddenly the
prospect of never having another child was devastating.
A warm hand
drew Jin’s attention away from his thoughts as it slowly caressed his ankle and
leg under the loose pants he wore.
Yusuke looked up into his mate’s saddened eyes wordlessly he offered his
comforting presence. Giving a half
hearted smile, the wind tamer nudged his mate in the ribs.
“Fox-boy
and I are looking into it.” He told
them. “So cross your fingers that I
start going on the rag.”
Jin
chuckled and winked across the room to Touya. “Better you than me.”
“After
seeing the way hormones affected you,” Touya
answered his tone thoughtful. “I can
honestly say that I’d be a bit apprehensive to encounter Yusuke during a
hormone induced emotional tirade.”
“Oh huh.” Yusuke shot
a glance up at Jin. “How insane did
those hormones turn Jin?”
Giving his
friend a half hearted glower the wind tamer’s swollen cheeks turned a tad pink. Touya gave him a
soft smile that turned almost wicked when he returned his attention to Yusuke.
“Random bouts of anger mostly.” He said truthfully. “Getting
angry at a random demon who bumped into him in a crowd
than two seconds later stepping on my heels because the same crowd suddenly
unnerved him. We had many very
ridiculous arguments.” Jin snorted and
Yusuke chuckled. “The more memorable
arguments ended in an accidentally ruined coffee table and I might forever have
an indent in my hip from where a mug collided with the bone.”
Yusuke
couldn’t help but laugh, the noise of it succeeding in waking up his son. Oops squirmed and whined in Rinku’s started arms.
Jin gave his mate a gentle smack upside his head before gently gathering
his son into his arms. After his tiny
baby was soothed back to sleep the wind tamer settled him in his crossed
legs. His mate turned and rested his
arms over Jin’s lap, soothing Oops’ silky infant hair. He never wanted to stop touching either Jin
or Oops. He mentioned this to Kurama earlier that day when dawn had just broken and Oops
had both his fathers awake.
“You’ll find yourself being more over
protective than you already are” The fox had replied. “Don’t be surprised if you feel different
about your friends at first. Your
instincts are on overdrive. They’ll soon
become manageable.”
A call from the kitchen broke
the young demon out of his thoughts.
Lunch was finally ready. Botan and Yukina started laying
out large trays of sandwiches and other easy to assemble, quickly made items
for the rather large group of demons.
Before Jin or Yusuke could stand, Shizuru was
in front of them with two plates piled with food.
“Don’t get used to this.” She grumbled “I make a horrible waitress.”
“I could
have guessed that.” Yusuke quipped
climbing up to sit on the couch at Jin’s side.
Shisuru gave him a raised eyebrow and shrugged, “I’m not the best
at balancing thing on tray.”
“Oh,”
Yusuke said, “I meant because you’re a bitch.
But, I’ll go with the balance thing if you want.”
“Your right, Yusuke.”
She said, her voice icy, she turned and handed his plate to a started Rinku. “I am a
bitch.”
Yusuke and
Jin laughed as she turned and stormed half heartedly back to the kitchen. Rinku gave the
older demons a hesitant look.
“Go
ahead.” Yusuke chuckled. “I can get my own.”
Looking
over his shoulder Rinku whispered, “Its too much.”
Jin took
one sandwich and let Rinku scrap some of the food
onto his plate. All their friends
started coming into the living room while the girls all decided to eat on the
porch. They ate in relative silence only
making occasional comments. After lunch
the conversation picked up, the group of demons treated this off time as a bit
of a vacation. They weren’t, however,
being stupid. They were keeping a close
eye out for any signs of the Shinobi. That was the reason the group had remained,
Oops and Jin were too weak to be moved right now and if the Shinobi
attacked the temple there would be no stopping them. After a few days of relaxation they would all
get bored and start training in full force, hopefully taking advantage of
having the old physic Genkai around for a bit of a
jump start on that training.
After his
meal was finished Jin stretched his long arms over his head and slouched down a
bit against the back of the couch. With
his stomach full he was starting to grow drowsy again. He was really enjoying having all his buddies
around and didn’t want to go back to sleep just yet.
Yusuke was
also enjoying himself. It wasn’t often you
could get a group of demons together where action was no longer involved. He was listening to Touya
retell part of the past few months with a very pregnant Jin when he paused and
looked at his friend. Yusuke started to
look as well when he felt Jin’s head fall onto his shoulder. With an affectionate smile he brushed some
stray strands of Jin’s crayon red bangs out of his eyes.
“You’re killin’ the party buddy.”
He said, instantly Jin jolted awake.
“Ya’ll are
jus’ too borin’” He yawned.
“Says the
person who’s so exciting he’s sleeping.”
Suzuki retorted. Jin flashed him
a grin and handed Oops to Yusuke.
“Night guys.” Jin
said around another yawn.
“See ya at dinner?” Chu asked as the small family passed.
“You
bet.” Yusuke punched his Mohawked friend lightly in the shoulder with his free hand.
The small
group watched as Jin disappeared into their room followed by Yusuke and their
son.
“Their
personalities complement each other’s very well.” Shishiwakamaru
commented a tad grudgingly to his companion, Suzuki. “I still only give it a few months before Jin
gets fed up with Yusuke’s clinginess.”
“Da bloke donna
seem ta mind so much.” Chu
reminded him.
“Of course not.” The
imp agreed. “He’s vulnerable and doped
to the gill on pregnancy hormones. Give
it some time, you’ll see.”
“By that
time Jin will be fully recovered.” Touya commented, “He can disappear for a few hours or even
a few days if he feels like it. Yusuke
has never tried to put limitations on Jin’s activities.” He paused and looked at the human who had
stepped in from outside and paused to listen to their debate. “What’s your opinion, Kuwabara?”
The
redheaded physic blinked, not accustomed to having his opinion requested
especially by demons. Caught off guard
he took a moment to think over the question.
“Personally,
I think Jin’s going to fee left out.”
“Why in the
world would you think that?” Shishi asked his voice think with a sneer and succeeding in
getting himself jabbed in the ribs by Suzuki.
“Although
I’m not sure about all that goes into running a kingdom, I know its time
consuming. Urameshi’s
always wanted kids so Oops is going to be taking up much of his free time. There are not enough hours in the day for him
to be clingy enough to drive Jin nuts.”
The small
group laughed as Shishi started grumbling at the
physic’s really insightful answer.
!@#$%^&*())(*&^%$#@!
Two weeks later and Oops
was hardly recognizable as the sunken eyed, half starved infant Hiei brought in. He
was gaining weight steadily as well as gaining a very demanding attitude. He had no problem with demanding his dinner
or voicing his never dying complaints of being changed.
This
particular day, Jin had gotten up before dawn to nurse Oops, as he usually did,
Yusuke woke up with them and would then fall right back to sleep most times
with his head pillowed in Jin’s lap. He
awoke again with a sigh when Jin started scratching his head, gently running
his blunt nails over his scalp. Getting
the hint, his mate would scoot back over to his side of the bed. Moments later, Oops was laid in his
arms. Curling in a protective ball
around his son, Yusuke would murmur “Have fun.”
Before falling back to sleep.
The wind
tamer smiled at his son and mate, watching them sleep for a moment. Every day he felt more like himself and every
time he flew in the unfamiliar Ningenkai air he felt
ready to go back to his home in the Makai to start
his life with Oops and Yusuke. After a
week of recuperating Jin had started working out like mad to prepare for moving
Oops back to his home, he was determined to be able to protect his son if they
were confronted on route to home.
He would
start out with getting his flying stamina back up in the morning when most
others were still asleep. When he would
come back, Yusuke would have Oops up, dressed and ready for breakfast. After breakfast Jin would have a bunch of
willing sparring partners to beat up.
Yusuke didn’t like leaving Oops alone so much so he mainly took on
daycare duties until early afternoon when Jin would come back and relax with
his son until dinner. Afterward when
Oops was sleeping off his full belly Jin would do his best to convince his mate
to spar with him. It was on such a night
that the young demon found out about Jin’s new projectile skill. Impressed, Yusuke enjoyed practicing with
Jin, making targets or throwing random objects to see if Jin could hit them
with a rock or if Jin could suspend really dense objects in the air.
Basking in
the early morning sun, Jin decided today that he felt like taking it easy
today, he had over done it once or twice over the past week and didn’t want to
delay his trip home anymore than it already was. Also, inside Oops was having a fussy morning
and it wouldn’t be fair to leave Yusuke by himself to deal with their cranky
son.
Not quite
in a light doze, Jin heard a car engine off in the distance, its nasty smell
hadn’t made its way to the temple yet
but just the thought of it made Jin’s nose wrinkle in disgust. Figuring the approaching human was Kuwabara the wind tamer promptly ignored the rumbling
engine.
A few
minutes later the car was at the base of the temple stairs. When a crashing door slam sounded through the
temple lawn Puu appeared from behind the dojo to
greet the friend or warn against a potential intruder. The Spirit Beast landed at the top of the
stairs and curiously peered down. Half a
second later he reared back and turned away to take off once again and
disappear back behind the dojo.
Perplexed
and now on guard, Jin righted himself from his crossed legged position and
tensed in anticipation of this potential foe.
A few minutes later a head appeared, then the human was at the top of
the steps and Jin fully understood the Spirit Beast’s reaction.
Keiko.
The human
female started at the sight of Jin then smiled softly at him. The wind tamer was torn, he wanted to hate
this woman yet he could understand her at the same time. He understood how she had ‘mothered’ Yusuke
since a very young age and stood by his side for years as a companion and
lover. He also understood that
relationships sometimes didn’t work out and he honestly didn’t hold any of that
against the woman. However, she was
still his rival and Jin wanted her dead.
As she
approached the steps to the temple her gentle smile never faltered. She stopped a few feet away from Jin and
said, “I’m so sorry to hear about what happened to you and your baby. I’m glad your both okay.”
Remaining
mute, Jin nodded once. He was going over
the pros and cons of killing her. In the
end his good sense overruled his instincts.
She was no longer a threat. An
awkward silence hung in the air for a long moment before the door of the temple
opened bringing out Yusuke and Oops.
“Hey, Jin,
I think someone’s hungry. . .” he paused at the top of the steps catching the
site of his soon to be legally ex-wife.
Keiko’s
smile faded, her big brown eyes meeting Yusuke’s started gaze. “Hello Yusuke.” She whispered.
“Hey.” He muttered back. He stepped down from the porch and stood next
to Jin. When his mate made no more to
take their so Yusuke knew this was going to have to be done the hard way. “What brings you all the way up here?” he asked.
“We need to
talk.” She said just as softly sending a
glance over to Jin.
“Ya know, Keiko, I don’t really think we do.”
“I believe
we do.” She insisted looking from Jin
than back. “In private if you don’t
mind.”
“Well I do
mind, Keiko.” Yusuke answered, his
temper running a tad short, “I’ve said all I’m going to say and I told you
where to send the mail to get the signatures to end our joke of a marriage.”
“You’re not
even going to try and work this out?”
This time Jin didn’t have an option, Oops was
gently thrust into his arms.
“Do I have
to remind you that I’ve spent the past months sleeping on our couch? Or that I’ve done everything in my power to
make you happy yet nothing was good enough for you. I’m through trying. I’m done now and I’m going home.”
“Taking the easy way out as usual.” Keiko shook her head with a disgusted sigh.
“You have
no idea what goes into running a kingdom, princess. Don’t you dare patronize me.”
“Then grow
up, Yusuke.” She snapped. “And take your responsibilities like a man
not some punk child running off to play ‘king of the castle’ and wrestle with
your friends.”
“My responsibilities?”
He repeated, “I left my responsibilities for You!
I left everything for You! What more could I have done to make this
marriage work?”
The last
bit came out as a bellow. In Jin’s warm
arms Oops became startled and started crying.
“Maybe you
should take him inside.” Yusuke
suggested softly, turning to face his mate.
The wind tamer raised an eyebrow and remained mute making his decision
clear. Sighing
the young demon turned back to Keiko.
“Look, Keiko, this obviously was doomed before it all started. I’m going back to the Makai,
with Jin, and starting my there as I’m supposed to be.”
He watched
as the weight of his words settled in her mind.
She looked to Jin, then Oops. Her
eyes paused on the upset newborn for a long moment. Those eyes, alight with disbelief, settled
back on her husband.
“With Jin?” She murmured.
Yusuke
nodded.
“How long
were you two fuck buddies?” She asked
her voice thick with anger and sadness.
“Two of the three years.”
“Two
year.” She repeated softly, and then
exploded. “Two Years! Why did you even bother coming back, Yusuke?”
“For you, I
made a promise and I wanted a life here with you like I’d always thought I
would.”
“So it’s my
fault you left your wonderful life as a demon lord and now it’s my fault our
marriage is ending.”
“Don’t be
like that. I told you I would come back
and I did.”
“So then
it’s a demon thing to take whores and leave them pregnant and disappear off the
face of the planet.”
“Don’t you
dare think of him or Ever speak of him as a
whore.” Yusuke snarled,
his tone was low and icy. “He was my
friend and fighting partner and was Never anything
less. Now at my side as my mate we will raise our son as my heir for when I
die.”
“Your son? Of course!
You were greedy and sleeping with him, cheating on your fiancé until the very
end. Do you have any idea what kind of
diseases you could have contracted and brought right back to me? I shouldn’t be surprised safety was never any
of the things on your mind.”
“Don’t even try to make it out like you were a virgin on our
wedding night because we both know that I wasn’t the man who popped your
cherry. And you’re too much of a prude
to buy yourself a vibrator.”
“Kurama told me,” Keiko muttered softly, “That you had
started another tournament. I was scared
that you would be killed. You can only
be brought back to life so many times. I
tried dating and yes I slept with him but in the end of it all, I only wanted
you.”
“Until you
had me, only then was I never good enough.”
Yusuke’s words were harsh because not only was he mad but he knew that
in the end it would be easier for Keiko to be angry about the whole situation
than being upset.
Keiko’s
cheeks colored in anger. She glared at
her soon to be ex-husband. He retort was
lost when a hiss alerted Yusuke and drew his attention away from the
woman. They were all silent and tense;
Yusuke and Jin were staring off into the same direction. Keiko understanding the sudden silence
nervously looked about the clearing. Jin
took a step closer to his mate, clutching Oops protectively to his chest. Unsettled by the sudden mounting tension in
his father the tiny baby started fussing.
“Keiko,”
Yusuke’s voice was low and firm. “Take
the baby and go inside.” Both Jin and
Keiko turned to him about to protest.
Not paying attention to them he took Oops from Jin and gently thrust him
into Keiko’s arms.
“Get in the
temple, Now!”
This time his tone left no room for argument. Scared, Keiko did as she was told, rushing
into the temple and past all the demons who had also detected the disturbance
and were streaming outside to investigate.
They stood directly behind Yusuke and Jin guarding the temple and the
baby inside as well as watching out for their leader and his mate. They didn’t have to wait long, a group of
half a dozen or so robed Shinobi melted out of the
shadows of the trees. They made their
way slowly across the lawn in a gaggle-like V formation of traveling fowl and
stopped a few feet away from the group.
The leader
of the V removed his hood. A sound
almost like a growl emitted softly from Jin’s throat, he stood straight and
tall beside his mate ready for whatever it took to keep Oops safe. The unveiled Shinobi
was a grizzled old demon with sparse gray hair and a yellowed goatee. His old hard as steel eyes were focused
directly on Yusuke, he not about to give any one else any attention, even Jin
or Touya. When
he took a breath with obviously intent to speak, he was interrupted by an
equally old, hardened voice.
“I warn you
to choose your words wisely.” Genkai called from the porch of her temple. “This temple is a way station for all demons
who wish to start a new life here in the Ningenkai. This is peaceful territory and disrupting
that will be in violation of both your Lord Enki and
our Lord Enma.”
The only
reaction from the Shinobi Elder was a slight
sneer. He not only knew what the old
physic said was true, he also knew who she was.
Clearly, like most demons that are old enough to have seen the exploits
of Genkai in her prime, he was not a fan.
“Urameshi-san,” He called ignoring all others, “I’m afraid
we have some unfinished business.”
“You don’t
say . . . “The demon lord answered his voice dull and uninterested.
“I have
come from my home to act as an ambassador of sorts. I would have come sooner, however, this is
very unusual and we have found ourselves having to bend some of our rules. Something we don’t like doing as our ruler
are the very foundation we live our lives by.”
“What’s
your point?”
“The two
demons who consider their Shinobi lives behind them
are in violation of our rules, many of our rules for that matter. Normally the penalty for such
insubordinations is death. As you and
your companions have shown, this is unacceptable. If you weren’t such formidable force this
wouldn’t be quite a dilemma. So, the Shinobi Elders have met and we have decided to present you
an offer.”
“Me?” Yusuke was thrown a bit off; he wasn’t
expecting them to offer him anything.
Somehow, he could tell that the Shinobi still
had no clue that Oops was his son.
“Since it
has become apparent that they follow your command for whatever reason, we
understand that all agreements must be decided upon thorough you.”
“You’re wrong;
Jin and Touya are our companions. We will back up whatever decision they make.”
“Very well.” The
elder turned to the ex-Shinobi who were standing
quite close to each other yet not quite touching. Their close friendship had grown in leaps and
bounds as they shared Jin’s pregnancy.
This contact was on an unconscious level and it was successfully giving
the illusion that they had mated. Touya was his usual complete outward calm. Jin on the other hand, Yusuke could tell was
upset, his heart was racing and although his face was calm his eyes were
unrecognizable, they were wild and enraged and yet his ki
was contained. The only outward sign
that he was anything other than calm was his jaw line creasing as he ground his
teeth. When the elder addressed the two ex-Shinobi his voice
changed back to his authoritative tones.
“You have
two options at this time, first, both of you may come back into our ranks. You’ll be separate sets of course for an
indefinite amount of time. Your
offspring’s life will be forfeited, however, as we will not be
needing a master in either element, you see.”
Jin’s body
shuddered forcefully as he restrained his anger and ki. A sharp look from Yusuke quelled his anger
for a bit, he settled for a soft growled “Never!”
The elder
allowed a smirk to cross his features.
“Your second choice is to give us the child in your place. The two of you will be permitted to remain in
your chosen lifestyle, in retirement if you will. Yet, if you have more children they too will
be taken upon their birth and be brought into our ranks.
This time Yusuke spoke up, “Unacceptable.”
Annoyed the
Elder glanced back to him.
“You can
try and talk these two into going back with you until your blue in the face for
all I care, but the baby will be left out of any and all of your negotiations.”
Yusuke had
almost every eye on him in that second.
Even his friends who had seen him run his kingdom and the tournament had
never seen or ever dreamed that their hot headed friend could be so diplomatic,
especially where Oops was involved.
Jin’s mind and vision were hazed with red. It was obvious that Yusuke was up to
something and that usually was worth waiting out.
“The child
is the spawn of two Shinobi, it is under our
jurisdiction. The penalty for
recreational breeding is clearly defined.
These two knew this before they rebelled; of course it’s unsurprising
that you are unaware of this.”
“Fuck the
rules. Jin and Touya
obviously have decided they don’t want to be Shinobi
any longer. Leave the baby out of this
or shove the fuck off.”
“As I have
explained, our rules . . . “
“Oh I heard
you just fine the first time. The baby’s
sire is outside the Shinobi orders so he is not
‘under your jurisdiction’.”
“Although
I’m inclined not to believe you, if that were the case the child shall be
destroyed.”
Yusuke was
silent for a moment, his eyes narrowed and his ki
spiked in anger. When he spoke his voice
was low and enraged.
“The only
thing that ‘shall be’ done is me kicking your ass from here to kingdom come if
you ever come near my son again.”
“Your son?” A surprised
ripple of anger ran through the Shinobi V.
“Yea!” Yusuke fired
back. “My son! Touya was helping me out by looking after Jin until you fuckheads stepped in.”
A rather
large Shinobi standing toward the back of the V
started trembling forcefully and growled out, “Haven’t you disgraced your
Orders enough? It’s not enough you rebel
and make an ass of yourself now your whoring yourself to ex-lords? A concubine to human
filth!”
Yusuke’s
patience snapped. His muscles bunched
and prepared to slaughter the fucker who dared to insult his mate in such a
way. Before he had a chance to move,
however, a fist sized rock collided with the large Shinobi’s
head. The large demon pitched forward and cursed. The group of friends had mostly kept straight
face. There would be no ki to be found on the rock because Jin had used the wind to
propel it and since all he could do while pregnant was work with projectiles
his skill is very well honed and subtle and hard to pin on his ki as its source.
The brute sized demon picked up the rock and crushed it in his ham sized
fists.
“You have
over stayed your welcome.” Yusuke
growled. “Get lost.”
“I’m afraid
this complicates matters.” The Elder
spoke again, his voice hardly hiding his anger at the new development.
“The fuck
it does. You said your peace; you will
now have your answer, NO. If you or any
other Shinobi dares to show their face anywhere near
my mate or my son I will slaughter each and every one last one of you. And you had better believe that goes for Touya as well. My
connections run through the two former Makai lords,
Lord Enki and Koenma. So unless you want the hell of the three
worlds raining down on your asses I’d heed my warning wisely.”
“That . . .” The elder paused, unnerved by the threat. No one in the Makai
had gone with out hearing about Raizen’s half human
heir. There was not a doubt in his mind
that Yusuke would follow up his threat.
“I can assure you that this is far from over.”
“Than prepare to die.”
Yusuke growled.
“We have
come to this temple in peace and it is our intention to leave the same
way. I too have a warning for you, our
numbers and our strength is as impressive as yours. Next time we meet it will not be peaceful and
none of you will be spared our wrath.”
“We’ll be
looking forward to it.” Yusuke called
and one by one the Shinobi melted back into the
shadows of the trees.
The group
waited with baited breath for the shadows to produce a clocked demon. When none appeared to be forthcoming Yusuke
turned to his troops with a wide smile.
“Great job being big and
scary guys!”
He turned
to Jin and Touya.
The wind tamer was standing stock still; his large, sky blue eyes had a
stunned ‘deer in the headlights’ look to them.
“You okay,
buddy?” His mate asked. Jin turned his gaze to him. After a moment he visibly relaxed and
nodded. “Wadda
ya think their gonna
do?” The young demon asked looking down
to Touya.
“I believe
you have successfully put the fear of your wrath in them. I doubt they will try to test their luck
again anytime soon.”
Yusuke
grinned happily at his mate who gave him a shaky one in return. A split second later Jin turned and dashed
into the temple; suddenly needing to hold his son close. He spotted the females around the window
watching everything that had happened. Botan who, along with Yukina, had stayed to help Genkai
deal with feeding a rowdy group of demons, was holding a very upset Oops
against her bosom as she cooed and rocked him gently. The moment Jin burst through the door she
smiled and handed him over. Pressing his
lips to the peachfuzz adorning his son’s head, he
took a deep, shaky breath of his son’s scent.
Oops was calming down as well, his cries turned
to whines which were slowly calming to a occasional whimper and quick, raspy
breathing. Once his own hammering heart
slowed a bit, Jin noted eyes on him; he looked up from his son to find Keiko
watching him. Her eyes were confusing,
mostly sad but there was something else, a look Jin recognized but couldn’t
quite place. She met his gaze for a long
moment and sighed, such as deep and quite sigh that Jin could almost say it was
one of defeat. She walked past him,
making a wide arch around him so as not to get anywhere near him and slipped
out the door.
She walked
down the path leading to the archway over the stairs when Yusuke called and
made her pause.
“It’s not
safe to leave right now, Keiko.” He
said, “We can’t be sure that the Shinobi aren’t out
there waiting to find an advantage.”
“I’m not
staying here, Yusuke.” She replied, her
voice was calm, but she refused to meet his eyes.
Knowing
that it would be better if Keiko was not around, yet also concerned for his
friend’s safety, Kurama stepped forward and placed
his hand on Yusuke’s shoulder.
“I’ll take
her home.” He said softly. “If anything happens Hiei
will know where to find me.”
His green
eyes looked over to Keiko waiting for her consent. She shrugged lightly and continued down the
path. Squeezing his friend’s shoulder
gently, Kurama followed Keiko to her car.
“Thank
you.” Yusuke murmured. Kurama gave his
friend a gentle, understanding smile and lengthened his stride to catch up with
Keiko. Half way down the steps she
reached into her jacket pocket and offered the fox her keys.
“Would you
mind driving?” She asked softly.
“Not at all.”
That was
the last thing either of them said for the majority of the ride home. Half way back, Keiko dug into her jacket
pocket and pulled out her vibrating cell phone.
She blinked at the caller id for a moment before flipping it open.
“How could
you not tell me?” She greeted, for a
second Kurama thought that Yusuke had called. He was pleasantly surprised when his sharp
ears picked up Shizuru’s mellow voice on the other
end.
:Sorry, hun.: She answered,
:It wasn’t my place to tell you about that.:
“You could
have at least warned me.” Keiko
murmured.
:Well, did you tell him about . . .:
“No!” Keiko answered quickly.
After a suspicious pause Shizuru asked, :Who’s with you?:
“Kurama
was kind enough to drive me home.”
:Have him
bring you here.:
“Shizuru,
I really just want to go home.”
:I don’t
think being alone is the best thing for you right now.”
“Really Shizuru
. . “
:Bring her
here, Kurama.:
Shizuru called loud enough for a normal
hearing person to catch. :See you soon, hun.:
Slowly Keiko closed her phone and
tucked it back into her pocket. She sighed
softly and turned to stare out the window.
“Would you rather I take you
home?” Kurama
asked.
“No, thank you.” Keiko answered still looking out the
window. “She would just show up there
anyway.”
“If you’re sure,”
“I am.”
Almost an hour later, Kurama pulled up to Shizuru’s new
home, she was standing outside the apartment complex smocking while waiting for
them to arrive. Putting out her
cigarette she slowly approached the vehicle.
Keiko slowly climbed out and stopped in front of her friend. Instantly the taller woman wrapped her arms
around Keiko’s shoulders.
“How long?” Kurama asked as he
passed the keys to Shizuru.
“Nothings
certain.” The young physic
answered. Keiko’s shoulders started
shuddering with her sobs. “She’s fresh
off the pill and everything’s really up in the air. Its all finally getting to her, I’m sure it’s
a false alarm.”
Keiko jerked out of her friend’s
arms. Wiping the tears from her red rimmed eyes she snapped “Don’t tell him
that! He’ll go straight back to Yusuke!”
“I’m sure Shizuru’s
right.” Kurama
replied soothingly. “There’s no reason
to do anything rash.”
“I’ll be damned if you think I’m
going to be some pathetic single mother, working at my parent’s restaurant for
the rest of my life because my sad sap of a husband ran off with another
man. Don’t you bother telling Yusuke a
damn thing, it doesn’t matter if I’m pregnant,” She stumbled over the word,
“I’m not keeping it.”
Dashing tears out of her eyes,
Keiko stepped around her friend and rushed inside the building.
“They never should have gotten
married.” Shizuru
muttered lighting up another cigarette when her friend disappeared inside the
building.
“Level with me, Shizuru.” Kurama said growing
a tad concerned about the situation.
“Those two had sex for the first
time in months on their little vacation after she had just run out of
pills. Her hormones are in an uproar and
her unstable marriage ends. Then to top
that all off she finds out that her husband already has a baby with another
guy. She’ll forget being sad and go back
to being mad as hell.”
“You’re certain this is a false
alarm?”
“Ninety-nine
percent sure.”
The fox sighed relieved; truthfully
the chances are slim that Keiko conceived after just one night after being on
the pill for so long.
“Then I agree that there is no need to alert Yusuke to this.”
Shizuru
nodded. Bowing to his friend, Kurama started off toward his own apartment which wasn’t
too far away. As he walked he couldn’t
help but chuckle at how much of a soap opera his friend’s life had become in
only the past month.
!@#$%^&*()_++_)(*&^%$#@!
Later that
night when Jin was nursing their son back to sleep, the wind tamer noticed that
Yusuke was a tad agitated. Settling Oops
in the middle of the mat he approached his mate where he was sitting at the
window. Yusuke looked over to him,
instantly Jin could see the sudden changes.
His large eyes were dilated and unfocused as they raked over his half
nude form. His youki
was pulsing wildly around him as contained as it was it sill fought fiercely to
be set loose.
“The hell’s
go ya all riled?”
He asked.
Yusuke
stood in a quick, fluid movement. Jin
could see his fingers and hands twitching as they reached up and ran those
hands over his neck and fisting the short hair at the back of his neck. The wind tamer realized as Yusuke pulled
firmly to tilt back Jin’s head, baring his entire throat, that the one-two
punch of having both Keiko and the Shinobi
confronting them in the same day had set off Yusuke’s instincts to a heightened
state that they had never gotten to before.
Jin’s own
instincts awoke, he stood docile and compliant as his mate reached up and bit
the tenderest and vulnerable part of his neck just under the jaw line where his
jaw and neck met. He gasped and Yusuke
growled removing one hand from his mate’s hair to cup the firm globes of his
ass and pulled their bodies together.
Yusuke made it clear that even if Jin resisted he wouldn’t get out of
sating his mate’s desires. Luckily,
after two second of rubbing against his mate’s arousal Jin’s own member started
responding rapidly.
Jin’s hands
tugged at his mate’s tee-shirt, in a blink he found himself laid out on the
floor with Yusuke pulling the pants off of his slender hips. Instantly a hot mouth attached to a tender
spot on his pelvis. Arching up into the
strong suction the red head moaned softly.
By the
third deep red love bite Jin was certain that Yusuke was calling to everyone’s
attention that Jin was claimed and off limits.
Practically tearing his shirt into shreds in an effort to remove it, the
young demon attached his mouth to yet another spot on Jin’s smooth
shoulder. He shoved Jin’s thickly
muscled thighs apart and hastily pushed down his own sweatpants.
Jin pressed
his face into the crook of Yusuke’s neck to muffle the sound of his deep groan
as his mate steadily pushed his engorged member into his unprepared
entrance. Jin’s body rebelled, the
burning muscle wanting to close down tight.
Yusuke persisted, keeping smooth, steady pressure until he was sheathed
fully inside his mate’s tight cavern.
Jin’s
strong legs trembled, linking around Yusuke’s hips. His mate started a slow, firm stroke angled
so that it would hit that deep hidden spot again and again forcing as much
pleasure on Jin’s body as he was taking for himself. Soon, when Jin’s waist arched his rear up to
meet Yusuke’s thrusts, the tone of their lovemaking changed. The Toushin growled
sinking his fangs into corded muscles of his mate’s neck he left yet another
lasting claiming mark and switched from firm, slow strokes to quick, pounded
thrusts. Pressing the fleshy heel of his
hand as far into his mouth as it would go, Jin bit down to muffle his moans and
cries as Yusuke set a brutal pace. In
the back of his mind, Jin was amazed that they hadn’t succeeded in waking up
Oops. He had no doubt that any one who
was still awake could hear the muffled noise they were making.
Those
pounding hips slammed into his rear seeming to split Jin in two and poking his
intestines with the engorged member that was buried to the hilt inside
him. The body above him froze as it gave
up its seed to Jin’s greedy, milking muscles.
Moaning his frustrations, Jin’s hyper aroused body was just on the brink
of exploding.
Yusuke lay
on his mate for a long moment, his deep, harsh breathing huffing in Jin’s
ear. His mate squirmed under his sweat
slicked body, his neglected member craving friction to finally explode. The Toushin
chuckled softly when Jin arched his back and tightened his legs in a vice grip
around his hips. Jin responding growl
turned into a pleasured moan as his mate’s warm lips attached to his favorite
erogenous zone, his ears. One hand
forced Jin’s legs from his waist and kept them spread on the ground. The other took hold of his cock. One firm thrust later and Jin’s body
shuddered in climax. His muscles
relaxed, his whole body seemed to flatten into the floor.
Slowly the
pleasured high subsided; Yusuke remained propped above Jin. Sleepy blue eyes slanted open to find his
mate studying his handy work. For the
first time that night he seemed to be back to his normal self. Gentle, calloused fingers stroked a dark red
love bit that was sure to be a bruise by morning.
“I’m
sorry.” He whispered. “I’m not sure what came over me.”
“Sush yerself.” Jin mumbled sleepily. “I enjoyed m’self.”
“I’m
glad.” Yusuke answered nuzzling into
Jin’s smooth neck. “Next time I won’t
hold back so I can make you moan and scream.”
Jin
chuckled, “When we git ta
our own room, wit out ‘ese paper thin walls and Oops
‘as ‘es own room an’ ain’t sharn’ our bed I’ll be as loud as ya
want me ta be.”
Yusuke
chuckled and leaned down for a kiss. It
was a soft, gentle touch at first; both were content to simply relax after such
a vigorous bout of sex. Wrapping his
arms around his mate’s shoulders Jin pressed down on his back to encourage him
to rest his weight on him. Yusuke
complied, lowering himself until he was stretched out on top of his mate’s warm
body. They fed leisurely off each other’s
mouths enjoying their quiet together moments they never seemed to have anymore.
After a few
lazy minutes Jin’s back started to ache from the hardwood floor. With one last swipe of his tongue, Jin broke
the kiss. His mate seemed to share his
thought, he climbed off Jin’s body and reached down and helped his mate stand
on wobbly legs. For the first time since
he was reunited with his fathers, Oops didn’t spend the night asleep on either
of his fathers’ chests. Tonight his
Daddy Yusuke’s chest was already occupied by his Papa Jin.
!@#$%^&*()_+_)(*&^%$#@!
When Oops
declared his empty stomach and dirty diaper Jin was surprised to find that it
was almost down. By the time his baby
was changed and fed Jin decided to go catch the sunrise. Since it was still dark, the sun hardly
lightening the sky at all the wind tamer decided on a shower first. He laid
Oops down on Yusuke’s chest, his mate hardly mate barely stirred when the
slight weight was added to his chest. it
took a moment to locate the pants Jin had worn the night before as Yusuke, in
his rush to get Jin nude, had flung them across the room. Usually he wouldn’t give a damn about being
seen naked, but there were humans all through the temple and they had weird
taboos about the naked body. Once he had
made it sufficiently clad to the bathroom, he turned on the tap and striped
back down before a glance in the mirror stopped him in his tracks.
The skin of
his chest and neck was peppered all over with red love bites and bruising bite
wounds. For the first time the reality
that he was claimed hit the wind tamer with full force. He stared at his reflection in the mirror
trying to recognize the demon staring back at him. Never in a million years did he ever think
that he would be claimed and marked so possessively. The picture of his mate holding their little
redheaded baby boy as they slept caused his chest to tighten, constricting
around his heart and making it hard to breathe.
He was finally
part of a family, not a Shinobi set or a close group
of friends, he had an actual family. A
sudden urge to show off his newly acquired badges of partnership to every
person in the three worlds washed over the wind tamer; he was as proud of his
marks as he was of his son.
Realizing
that he was about to miss the sunrise, Jin hurried into the shower. Racing to clean himself Jin rushed out of the
shower hardly bothering to dry himself before hightailing it outside. Once he was on the porch he shot straight
into the sky, the wind was playful this morning causing Jin to shiver lightly
as it swirled around him and dried his damp skin.
As he watched the sunlight color
the sky before it appeared over the horizon Jin wondered if he had ever
mentioned to Touya or his mate about why he loved to
watch the sunrise religiously ever morning.
It was something he had dreamed of doing his whole life as a child stuck
in the hellish tomb of his Sensei. When
he was old enough not to be frightened of the beatings and being starved as his
Sensei threatened he attempted to try and sneak out every morning after Estampe fell asleep.
He succeeded very few times but each and every time it was worth
it. Touya had
caught him sneaking off every so often once they were assigned into the same
set. This had originally tempted the ice
master to let Jin in on his plans to rebel and hopefully work his way into the
Dark Tournament he had heard rumors about.
This morning ritual was his own little reward
to himself. It was his reminder that
darkness would never over take his live again.
There were times, when Oops had
been taken and almost lost forever when Jin thought that his life was going
back into the dark and the Shinobi would win once
again. Luckily for him, Jin had
befriended the one person who almost had a Sun of his own following him. No matter what happened in the future, Jin
knew that he could always count on Yusuke to stand at his side and keep the
shadows at bay. Now that his existence had
been blessed with his own precious son, Jin couldn’t imagine that darkness
could ever rule his life again.
Sparing the golden sunrise on last
glance Jin shot from his spot in the sky back to the temple. For today and probably many days in the
future he wouldn’t need to watch the Sun to find the light in his life. Today everything else could wait; everything
in the entire cosmos could wait for all the wind tamer cared. His family was waiting for him and to Jin
they are the only thing that mattered.
